Birthday

Though it’s getting late in the day,
shall I skip over to the lake?
My years do not count
like those of a child.
I go to the lake, overjoyed
to see the sun has not set.
The sunlight dances completely
from one side to the other;
the entire breadth is shimmering:
the glory of the dancing sunrays on the water.
That is what these fall days provide:
an extended lifespan
and, then, to finally see
the naked tree
revealed in the light.
